Building up your immune system FTW.

Go work in a daycare, then.

And there's the difference between you and I. As a professional I'll work with anyone who requests my services.

You'd work with anyone? A mass murderer? A child molester? A genocidal leader?

I think your humor detection module is broken.

Umm, Mr. Fun wasn't joking.

Actually my first client ever was gay. I helped him pass his Chemistry (where he did very well).

Like I said, whatever your proclivities are, means sweet diddly poo. Business is business.

Someone could drop a nickel and you'd scramble to get it

Why waste good money?

[MikeH]

Umm, Mr. Fun wasn't joking.

Yes he was. Although there was some truth behind his dislike of homophobes!

If credit card charges 3%, you should expect to be able to get at least 3% off for cash (or debit card, which have much lower fees).

Also, 3% on the retail price is huge for the retailer, if not for the customer. That is much a much higher percentage of the retailer's profit on that item. If a retailer is making 25% of the sale price as profit, after all costs, paying 3% of retail price reflects losing 12% of their profit on that sale. The tighter their margins, the more important that 3% is.

I've heard that gas stations for the most part make only ten cents or so on every gallon, regardles actual price; it's fixed, and is set by the gas company. Without adjusting for credit, profits wouldn't just disappear, they'd go negative.

Uhh yeah he was. He was making a joke about not liking you and wanting you to stay away. I'm sure he still likes your cash assuming you haven't carried it around long enough to give it your stench.

Yeah, some gas stations here don't make a profit on petrol at all, especially ones in supermarkets, only if you buy a sandwich or drink or something.

I'm assuming that he's just like you in that prejudice is greater than profit.

Anyways, he's not made it clear he was joking, and I think he was perfectly serious about that and that you are covering for him.

Wait, you think I was serious about kicking out people with American Express cards?

[MikeH]

Love how he tries to suggest not wanting to be associated with homophobes is prejudice.

[MikeH]

gribbler, Are you really the kind of man that puts prejudice ahead of profit? The kind of disgusting man who wouldn't sell the Ku Klux Clan a hangmans rope?

[giblets]

I'd sell him a box of cereal, but I wouldn't sell him rope. I'm a sick, sick man who puts prejudice over profit.
